The Texans are trying out free agent OL Charles Spencer.

Spencer was originally drafted by the Texans back in 2006, but his career has been ruined by compound leg fracture as a rookie. Though he was out of the league last season, he's dead set on continuing his playing career. Sat, Aug 21, 2010 07:27:00 PM

Former Texans and Jaguars OL Charles Spencer is still holding out hope of continuing his NFL career.

The first pick in the 2006 third round, Spencer's career has been derailed since he suffered a nasty compound leg fracture in the second game of his NFL career. Listed at 338 as a Texan, the 28-year-old is down to 317 -- his lowest weight since college. If teams were confident the once-ultra talented lineman was healthy, Spencer probably would've gotten a look in minicamps. Thu, Jul 22, 2010 02:02:00 AM

The quad thing is a new issue for Fournette, who never seems to be 100% healthy. The rookie rebounded last week with 101 yards and a score in a home win over the Seahawks, but he'd been struggling a bit the previous month. Fournette is fighting through small nicks and bruises and ultimately should play Sunday against Houston, though it's obviously something to monitor moving forward. Remember when Fournette said the NFL was easier than college?

It's the best possible news after Robinson went down in an ugly heap on the opening drive of Sunday's shutout of the Colts. He now has the Jaguars' bye week to heal up. Robinson should be considered week to week, and questionable for Week 9.
